$20 SPS LED bulb for nano tanks, at Home Depot!

I think they're all better than they were because of tighter handling procedures, or natural causes. "Hardy" isn't a word I'd use but they aren't "doomed from the get-go" the way they used to be. I believe that the same was happening with elegance coral, and it is now considered to be at least maintainable.

I remember reading an article about exactly this... they think it was due to shipping procedures that would damage the coral irreparably.

I love seeing "cost savings findings". Sometimes I see thing ps labeled for the hobby have their price jacked up 200% just to have a hobby brand on it. Can find the same thing in the plumbing or lighting section (or kitchen, housewares, etc) section of HD for much less.

Here's mine on a 5 gallon bucket. LOL

I'm in the second stage of hyposalinity adaptation experiments and I didn't want the expense of a second system.

Bucket-$5 at wal-mart
Power filter-$4.50 at local thrift store
Light-$19.58 ebay

Enjoy.

I'm looking into cheap lighting over a 20L qt tank. I was thinking t5's would be the sensible choice but after setting that these cheap leds can sustain coral growth after long periods of times, my search may have broadened.

Found a 24w PAR38 with a 6500k color on amazon. The kicker is it uses cree led's. It should be here saturday. This is close to half the price of all white 17w seen on rapid led.
